PPSC continued it’s great early fall performances at the Boofish Invite this past weekend in Cape Elizabeth, just a short time after a very successful first meet of the 2025-26 season. All of our swimmers competed very well, earning new personal best times, achieving New England Championship meet qualifying times, as well as achieving a few ISCA Championship meet times for the spring meet in St Petersburg, Florida.

Congratulations to Reggie Spears-Harr, Violet Richards, Lily Romano, Lydia Campos, Saanvi Kakanim, Cory Benedict and Izzy Griswold for competing in their first meet. Congratulations also to Thomas Barrera (500 Free and 200 Back), Louise Davis (500 Free, 200 Back), Lillian Boneparth (200 Breaststroke), Willa Moran (500 Free), Emmett Record (200 Breaststroke & 400 IM), and Reid Stevens (500 Free) for pushing the distance in the longer events in their age group for the first time!

Next meet is at Upper Valley Aquatic Center for the Dorsi Reynolds annual memorial meet! She was a very special person and special coach, get ready to race, PPSC!
